  1. Sewer backup is a troublesome incident that causes a lot of hassle and disruption to daily life – it may not be as destructive as a fire or a tornado, but it presents a variety of health hazards and sanitation issues and may result in considerable property damage and serious personal injury. Therefore, sewage backup has to be dealt with quickly and efficiently – in the event of a sewage spill in your home, you need to evacuate everyone, turn off the power and water supply to the building, and call a plumber and a cleanup specialist to fix the problem. Depending on the severity of the situation, you may be able to take some steps to limit the damage, salvage your belongings, or even handle the problem yourself. Let’s look at 6 THINGS TO DO FOR SAFE SEWAGE BACKUP CLEANUP 

  2. Turn Off the Electricity or Gas If you are dealing with a flooded basement or sewage backup, turn off the electricity and gas lines before doing any more work. Do not assume that these lines are not an issue. Make sure that the electricity and gas have been turned off by the professionals in your area. The last thing that you want is to make a mistake with these lines and hurt yourself or someone else.

  3. Call a Septic Company or Plumber No one wants to deal with plumbing problems, but they do happen and you should know what to do when they happen. If you have a plumbing problem, there is the possibility it’s already causing issues. Call Carolina Restoration Services who will help in finding the source of the problem and start fixing the issue as quickly as possible.

  4. Call your Insurance Company When your professional clean up company arrives on the scene, provide them with the insurance claim number that you started with your insurance company and be prepared to show them that the location of your flooded basement is in fact the only area that has been affected by water. The septic company may also require this before they start any work in order to determine how they should proceed with their job. Carolina Restoration Services is always on call for emergency sewage removal, sewage backup cleanup in Wake Forest NC and surrounding areas. Contact us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for sewage backup cleaning services.

  5. Ventilate the Area Open windows to allow air to flow through your home. Airing out your contaminated home can help prevent mold growth by drying out the area as much as possible before professional help arrives. 

  6. Go to a Safe Area Evacuate people (assisting seniors and children) and pets from the areas affected by sewage backup and go to a safe place where there is no sign of sewage backup. Keep everyone away until the area has been restored.

  7. Take Pictures of the Damaged Area and Contents Take pictures by taking a photo from several feet away. Take pictures of the damaged area and contents if possible. You can do this by yourself or with your insurance claim agent after the plumber or restoration company has deemed the area safe. The pictures should include the damaged area, the source of the sewage backup, any damaged personal possessions, and structural damage. Don't touch anything when you take the pictures. Any surface or item touched by raw sewage is contaminated, and rarely salvageable.
